| would you marry for money?
Posted: 8/21/2009 10:27:53 AM | | No. I make a good salary at my job, enough to buy the things I want: I have an apartment I like, get to travel each year, buy more books and DVDs than I have time to read/watch, etc. I wouldn't care about living in a mansion, or luxury travel, or eating in fancy restaurants every night, or things like that. The only thing I'd want that I can't afford is to be able to retire now. And marrying for money wouldn't really give me that, since then the marriage would be the job I do to get money. So marrying for money wouldn't get me anything I really want. | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 10:00:28 PM | | I married a great looking guy for love...and I wouldn't take him back for 10 million dollars. I guess I would marry for money...where there is a will..there is a way...and where there is a will..there is a way out! | |

Yeah, but the will doesn't do any good if your name's not mentioned in it. | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 10:25:58 PM | | YES!! there are people who marry for money. My ex husband met a woman that after 3 months he told me he liked her as a person but had no romantic feelings for her. Then she bought him a truck, a month later a boat and then a camper, built him a garage to put it all in. Now, she buying a house (so they can move in together) I do believe money plays a big role in it for him. Oh yes, and not to mention the clothes ,car excessories and weekend getaways she pays for... All this in 6 months after him saying he had no romantic feelings for her... a total of 9 months since he met her. I believe she has bought him!! | |

Posted: 9/10/2009 12:54:25 AM | Absolutely not. Yes, I have a very long list of things I'd do if I won the lottery which isn't likely to happen either since I don't buy tickets.
But unless I loved the person I was marrying there wouldn't be any point because I couldn't throw cash at feeling miserable being with the person and make that feeling go away.
I'd also be on someone else's clock which doesn't happen when you pay your own freight. | |

Posted: 9/10/2009 6:20:07 AM | | I would marry for money if it was the right amount. It would have to be more than 5 dollars, and less than 20. My ideal is 14 dollars. That seems exactly right because it is an arbitrary number and as such I am free to choose it without any reason just because it is what came to mind when I thought about it. But I am flexible, which is necessary for marriage. You can't just have everything your own way all of the time. It is not always possible for your spouse to live up to your standards, so you must make allowances when they can't. Below 5 dollars hardly seems worth it. More than 20 is asking too much. | |

Posted: 9/10/2009 8:17:27 AM | | No. If I was not attracted to then physically or mentally, I don't care how much money they have. On the flip side, I wouldn't marry someone that I was extremely attracted to that had NO money...and didn't know how to take care of the money he did have. | |

Posted: 9/10/2009 8:43:26 AM | Would I marry for money?... not a chance.
My ex was/is very wealthy, and I left... and it was the smartest move of all time (or very close to it). However, I would also be very careful of someone who had no money.... or someone who had no idea how to manage their money. I have had the "takers" try and free-load off of me before - no thanx. | |

They have 10 million dollars. Would you marry them?
I would hope that everyone realizes that this happens every day. Folks make decisions about a passion for a certain lifestyle over passion for another individual. In days of old marriages were arranged specifically to alter a family's social status. Thus, like the oldest profession.. this has been around forever.
For me personally at this point in my life? ... where the hell did I put that Porsche catalog again?  | |

Posted: 9/11/2009 3:03:09 AM | I think alot of people say they wouldn't marry for money. And it's all nice and ideal and I'd like to believe it and do because for a relationship to last that chemistry etc has to be there. But most of what people are saying is BS. I think it's a front to add some depth for some to down play it's importance like it or not.
All the surveys rank money around the third most desirable trait they're looking for. You get the personality thing and funny are popular responses etc for the first two. While these two are good, in the end breakups usually involve money.
I noticed alot of ladies don't want to support the odd male that may have employment issues? Not having money? Doesn't the marriage vow ask for richer or poor in sickness and health? Doesn't true love handle the bumps in the road? Didn't males support women financially decades before? We all get unemployed here and there... Again money is at question or dependancy.
Heck I heard a crazy study that some women had better sex with men that had more money? Maybe the dude with more money knew how to pleasure the chick more?!? The muscular blue collar I guess didn't do it? Must have been the chocolates, champagne and that expensive hotel room maybe?
The courtship process involves money. Going on the date to buy a coffee, driving there, maybe having a few beers all costs money. The nice clothes and shoes etc all cost money to make that first impression. The internet, the phone calls etc all cost money.
Later if things progress we're talking even bigger money here now. The ring and the wedding can be expensive. The house is huge money, the furniture, the cars, clothes, appliances, food for the partners and the kids, hockey and ballet classes etc all cost alot of money. They say to get one child up to the age of 18 we're talking at least 100k. Diapers and daycare... All big money. Insurance and post secondary is very expensive. Dental, optical and health costs are expensive.
If a divorce occurs quite often because of money issues, this can be pricey. And if it isn't initially (the cause of the divorce) it will be with the division of assets etc. Lawyers are expensive. To make that partner suffer, it usually is to hit them financially.
Even dying is expensive. Funerals and plots etc are pricey...
While many deny that money isn't their justification for a relationship it usually becomes the issue when it's over. I hear young ladies talking about their boyfriends jobs or how much they make all the time in my line of business.
I aspire to sincerely be attracted to noble attributes of a person I'm involved with, however hanging out and the breakups usually are around money. And if they even aren't the usually become so. Keeping up with the Jones and born to shop mentality (consumer driven marketing presure) eventually muddles it. The neighbors or in-laws or peers will see or talk about anyhow and cause social pressures.
There is no real way around money in relationships like it or not and compartmentalizing it away. It creeps up sooner or later. Life is expensive and getting more so everyday...
